I had not heard of the Double Hook rule, which is going to be tested in the Atlantic League this year. Basically, a compromise on the DH rule where the DH is used as long as the starting pitcher is still in the game. When the SP is removed, the "double hook" removes the DH and that spot reverts back to either the pitcher or a PH. It's not only intended to be a compromise but also an incentive to have SPs go deeper into games.
